About: With a decade of experience caring for dogs and a goal of becoming a vet, I bring both heart and knowledge to every pup I meet. Hi, I’m Brianna! I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 12 and am currently pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My deep love for animals drives everything I do, and I’m passionate about providing quality, loving care for every pet I meet. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just being their companion while their families are away. I’m fun, responsible, and compassionate, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pet, so I’m always happy to answer any questions and make sure you feel comfortable. You can count on me to give 100% to every visit, every time. I’m a full-time college student wrapping up my final year of undergraduate school, but don’t worry—I’ve designed my schedule to make plenty of time for pet care! I only attend in-person classes two days a week and reserve Wednesdays for studying, which means I’m fully available Friday through Monday and partially available the other days to give your pup the attention they deserve. Your dog will be in a safe, secure environment with a fenced backyard, constant supervision, and lots of love. I also have home security cameras for added peace of mind. Plus, your pup will have the company of my two sweet, friendly huskies Sky and Echo who are both spayed and great at helping new dogs feel comfortable and settled in.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! Let's talk price adjustment after the first booking ❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
About: From a young age, it has been my nature to care and share a bond with dogs. As an adult, I have given the best life to my dog Scooby, who is now 15 years of age. He has taught me so much about caring and loving for a dog. Scooby and I go on long walks, and I see the joy he gets from them. It's the highlight of his day. I would like to share this joy with your pet too! I work evening shifts Monday - Wednesday, so I have all morning or afternoon to take a refreshing walk with your fur baby. I have Thursday and Friday and Friday off, which makes me available anytime of the day for another enjoyable walk! I have the upmost respect for people and their personal space. Just let me know how I can help, plus any boundaries, and I'll be sure to do the best I can!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with 5+ pets at all times, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. This hands-on experience has made me comfortable with a wide range of animal needs, from feeding routines to basic care and handling. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for friends and family, providing reliable, attentive care that keeps both pets and owners at ease. Currently I am a Starbucks Barista, I typically work late afternoon closing shifts. I am off by 9:30. I’m available to come in before and after work to check up on your furry friends <3. Growing up with multiple pets, I’m very attentive to creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow routines carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Bonnie was great with my dog, she was right on time for his visits and I could tell from the photos she would send that he was having fun. Would definitely reach back out to her again for taking care of my dog.”
“Omolara took great care of my senior dog during the week I was away. She provided exercise, feeding, and clean-up of the space, when my dog couldn’t quite hold it. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and special needs. I understand the importance of following specific care instructions, whether that means monitoring dietary restrictions, accommodating senior dogs, managing allergies or sensitive skin, or adjusting walks to a dog's individual energy level and health needs. I have experience privately walking and caring for four dogs with varying temperaments and routines, which has taught me how to adapt my approach to each dog and make them feel comfortable and safe. Pet owners can trust that I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing reliable care tailored to their dog's unique needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care after 4:00 PM once I finish my full-time job. I enjoy spending my evenings staying active and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My experience caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and special needs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and following care instructions closely. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra attention to dietary and health needs, I’m committed to providing reliable, personalized care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I adapt my care to their personality, energy level, and any special requirements. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in good hands.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life I even have my own dog, Luna, so I totally get how much your pet means to you. I started walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it grew into my own little business because people kept coming back. I’m great with all sizes, from tiny guys to big energetic breeds, and I’m First Aid & CPR certified so you never have to worry. I treat every dog like my own with patience, care, and plenty of love. I’m a high school senior, so I’m available weekdays after school and completely free on weekends perfect for overnight or full-day pet sitting. I’m used to keeping a consistent routine since I already run my own pet sitting business, so your pet will always be fed, cared for, and on schedule while you’re away. I have my own dog Luna, so I treat every pet I sit for like family. Your pet will be in a calm, comfortable home environment where they get plenty of attention and love. I’m First Aid & CPR certified, so I’m ready to handle anything unexpected. I keep a close eye on every animal in my care and will always keep you updated with how your pet is doing.
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. Dogs have always been part of my family. I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities.

I enjoy caring for small dogs, following their routines, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I will treat your pet like one of my own. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I work on Saturdays, but I am available the rest of the week and always make sure every dog receives the care and routine they need. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a clean home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I have a friendly small dog, Tobby, and I carefully introduce dogs to each other. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog like a member of my family. I usually host one family’s pets at a time to provide personalized attention and a calm, stress-free environment.
About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors alike. From energetic pups to chill cats, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once! I often house sit for households with four or more pets at a time. I have a natural talent for making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or cuddles, I’ve got it all covered with care and reliability. As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I often have daytime availability for walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. My top priority is making sure they feel relaxed, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I stick closely to each pet’s routine—whether it’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, building trust with patience and affection. I do everything I can to make them feel secure and cared for, just like they would with their family.

About: Hello!! My name is Karen and I have been caring for dogs, bunnies & cats since I was young. My very first gift from my parents was an 8 pound chihuahua and she became my top priority. She was with me for 18 sweet years. Later I was blessed to care for three beautiful bunnies for 14 years, I have also been a dog mom to the most beautiful boy that I adopted & his name was kodama. I shared 9 wonderful years with him and 2 years ago he passed and it’s been my greatest loss. I now have only one cat that has me wrapped around his paw☺️.

The pet and myself will stay in designated areas, I am mindful of their presence and stay vigilant on knowing what they are up to at all times, even if I might be on my computer or cleaning up etc, they know they’re the star of the show.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downey
Vyanh is super sweet and personable. Very professional and punctual. I was worried that my cats would be lonely but she took time to give them scratches. My first time having someone come into my house to feed them but Vyanh was so great. Very good experience!
Issis is always professional and the smile on my guys face when she sends rover cards makes me a little jealous ;)- Always a pleasure to work with her, I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your fur baby or have someone walk them if life gets a little busy!
This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.
Karla was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. My cat absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, and kept me updated throughout my vacation, which really helped ease my worries. I truly appreciated the level of care and compassion she showed. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!
This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!
Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.
Patricia was very patient with my dog and was on time for every visit. Ace is a little scared with a new sitter but she took her time and built a comfortable environment for him. Her communication was great. She updated me on his progress every day and sent me pictures.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Downey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Downey. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
